Last Saturday when I was preparing the material for FB this coming Saturday, I was feeling down, angry and other negative emotions flowing to my heart.
I was challenged spiritually by the enemy.
" Why are you doing all this ?"
"Nobody care right"
"See, after what you have done, nothing has changed"
"They just come for different reasons"
"Better you just do your own things"
etc
I was feeling down that day then today's reading is like consolation for me. Well, actually it's not exactly from the reading but from Archbishop 's reflections.
Today's reading is about Jesus as High Priest and when He's going to begin His ministry, the Evil one challenged Him so that He's not going to do God's will to save the human beings.
However, because of His love to us is so much greater than to Himself, He rejected the Evil's offer and obey God's will until the death.
And it reminded me in what happened recently, when we are willing to be God's instruments to do good, to let people see the truth, the Evil one won't just stay around. He will do whatever he can to challenge us, put us down, or use our weaknesses to attack us.
The good news is God's Grace is sufficient enough.
When I feel down, God always reminds me that He loves me not because of what I'm doing but because of who I am.
Because of His unconditional love, it gives me strength to continue to be part of His plan letting people see the truth and encountering God's love.
When I feeling down or nobody appreciate in what I've done, God reminds me to rejoice, because I'm one step closer to Christ's perfection.
When people annoy me, God reminds me to rejoice and grateful, because I have a privilege to be part of His great plan
When I feel hurt because my expectation was not fulfilled, God reminds me that I'm not God either. I can't change people, I only can do my part.
When I feel uneasy because of my pride, God reminds me that He loves me as who I am and what matters most for Him.
